- Brazen thieves make off with rings- $100,000 in jewels stolen from safe- Staff distracted while thief acted
Three men and a woman entered Thomas Jewellers at 1.15pm on Tuesday and while some of the group distracted staff, police believe one thief went behind a counter and stole a tray of 60 gold and diamond rings from an unlocked safe.
Detective Sergeant Rob Sodomaco from Geelong Crime Investigation Unit said the most expensive ring was worth $20,000 and the total wholesale value of the haul was more than $100,000.
Detective Sergeant Sodomaco said the heist appeared to be the work of an organised gang which could have stolen to order.
"It would appear to be a fairly professional organisation," he said.
Staff were unaware the jewellery had been nabbed for two hours and no one witnessed the theft.
The four thieves were captured by security cameras entering the Moorabool Street store. They left in single file just after 1.30pm but were not filmed stealing the jewellery.
The group then split up and walked from the store in different directions.
"It's obviously quite brazen because the jewellery shop is well stocked with staff and ... the girls work particular areas," Detective Sergeant Sodomaco said.
He said the three men were all carrying black satchels. Two were wearing white shirts and one a blue shirt. The woman was wearing a light brown top, a cap and sunglasses. All four appeared to be aged between 25 and 35 and of Indian appearance.
